cost management

Calculating, comparing, controlling

Our systematic cost controlling ensures the transparent representation of the construction costs during all phases of the project. The status of the budget is thus always reliably and can be used as a basis for controlling and decision-making.

That is our goal:

  • reliable cost certainty
  • targeted risk minimisation

That is how we achieve it:

  • transparent depiction of construction costs
  • continuous planned/actual comparisons
  • effective control mechanisms
  • regular extrapolation of costs as of the end of construction

    collaboration

    Informing, structuring, documenting

    A common electronic platform allowing communication and the exchange of documents creates more transparency and efficiency of cooperation between all parties involved in the project.

      • fair code of ethics

      risk management

      Identifying, assessing, monitoring

      New discoveries and surprises are not uncommon in complex projects. Construction partnering provides a framework to respond faster and more flexibly to new influence factors. Conventional contracts offer hardly any incentives.

      That is our goal:

      • warding off negative influences from the project
      • reinforcing those factors that promote success

      That is how we achieve it:

      • joint opportunities and risks workshop
      • profound determination of opportunities and risks
      • transparent C&R negotiations with “open books”
      • precise handling and controlling strategies

      BIM
